10. Lake Orta Orta San Giulio
Lake Orta is a lake in northern Italy, west of Lake Maggiore. It has been so named since the 16th century, but was previously called the Lago di San Giulio, after Saint Julius , the patron saint of the region. Its southern end is about 35 kilometres by rail, to the northwest of Novara on the main Turin-Milan line, while its north end is about 6 kilometres by rail south of the Gravellona-Toce railway station, halfway between Ornavasso and Omegna. Its scenery is characteristically Italian, while the San Giulio island has some very picturesque buildings, and takes its name from the local saint, who lived in the 4th century.

11. San Giulio Island Orta San Giulio
Orta San Giulio is a town and comune in the Province of Novara in the Italian region of Piedmont, located about 100 kilometres northeast of Turin and about 40 kilometres northwest of Novara. The town itself is built on a promontory which juts out from the eastern bank of Lake Orta close to Isola San Giulio, an island which also falls within the municipal boundaries. The frazione Legro stands on the hill which rises behind the promontory, Corconio is some 2 kilometres further south, and again away from the lake, while Imola consists of a small number of dwellings between the two, but close to the lake on the road leading to Gozzano. The municipality borders on Pettenasco to the north, Miasino and Ameno to the east, Bolzano Novarese and Gozzano to the south, and San Maurizio d'Opaglio and Pe...

Hike Italy : The Italian Lakes District

Episode 039 Hike Italy : The Italian Lakes District

Hike and Kayak the most beautiful lakes in the world*

Located in the Italian alps, the Italian Lakes District has spectacular pristine lakes surrounded by the majestic alps! No wonder so many celebrities like George Clooney, Madonna and Sir Richard Branson have purchased homes here.

On today’s Active Travel Adventures podcast, we interview Christine Jenkins, who went on Active Adventure’s ‘Dolce Vita’ fully guided ten day adventure travel holiday. Christine explains that each day, she thought if she had to go home that day, her expectations were exceeded, and still every day got better still!

She hiked stunning trails overlooking the lakes, and kayaked on Lake Como and Lake Orto (the latter being her favorite since it is less crowded).

Of course, in Italy, all the food and ample wine was divine - and plentiful!

Here is the Dolce Vita itinerary:

Day 1: Arrive Milan Malpensa, visit Sacromonte Varallo

Day 2: Hike to Rifugio Crespi

Day 3 — Hiking the Walser hamlets of Valsesia

Day 4 — Hike down to Pella, boat to Orta San Giulio

Day 5 — Sea kayak Lake Orta

Day 6 — Hike the Mottarone mountain range

Day 7 — Hiking Val Grande National Park

Day 8 — Journey to Lake Como, hike to Vezio Castle
